Question

Is the Packager for iPhone (pfi) still for download somewhere?

Hi,

It's great to see that Adobe is making updates for the iOS development platform.

However, I have an application in the appstore that I developed using the (old) pfi packager using Flash cs5.

Therefore I can't update the app using Air 2.6 or 2.7.

I wonder: what if I reinstall my mac from scratch, I need to reinstall pfi to create updates to my app.

Does anyone know where I can download the old pfi?

Or maybe someone downloaded the installer and is willing to send it to me?

I would hate to be unable to continue development of my "old" apps...

Thanx in advance!

Hi,

You could download PFI from http://blogs.adobe.com/labs/archives/2010/06/packager_for_ip.html. However, I strongly suggest you to move to AIR 2.7. You will get much better performance and you could target retina display.

Thanks,

Sanika

Thanx for your quick respons Sanika.

Unfortunately the download-link doesn't work. It redirects to the new air-pages with no sign of a download link to the old files.

I know I should better move to air 2.7 (and believe me, I want to!), but 2 things are bothering me about air 2.7:

1) I am not able to upgrade my existing games due to the fact that some older devices aren't supported anymore. I have about 20.000 downloads allready so I can't ask all those people to download my app again when I release it under a different name. I just don't think people will like that. Especially when they have to pay for it again!

2) My app is a game for kids and most of them don't have a fancy iPhone 4 or iPad. A lot of them have iPod touches (2nd en 3rd generation) and releasing an app in Air 2.7 makes it impossible for them to download it. I would loose a rather big audience if I do so...

So, if anyone has a working download link for the old iPhone packager (PFI) or has another solution for the problems described above, I would really appreciate it.

(makes me wonder how you other guys update your existing apps)
